A beautiful gift arrived in the mail from our former CW member, Scandi.
Such a kind & wonderful thing to do from such very good friend.
It appears that I have to thank our very own Sean Bellin, who had a hand in making this happen.
I'm always amazed by the wonderful people that I have met here on CW
As you can see from the title they are a pair of Orrefors Crystal Raspberry candle holders, other than that I know very little.
4.25" dia. X 3" high
Weight for both 4.25 pounds
Designer: Anne Nilsson
Some history on the company;

I love the pictures you have taken as well , well thought out David!
Thank you Sean for your part in this, you both have hearts of gold.
I had a hell of a time capturing these photo's, still not entirely pleased with the results, I think I'll try some more later in natural light.
I just realized that I didn't take a picture of the Orrefors mark on the bottom.
Can you fill in the details on time period on these pieces?
Thanks for the love on these Sean.
Your very welcome David! yes , I can fill in the details for these:)

Time flies when you're having fun!
These look lovely WS & how you got them.
What a nice community CW is!
I've liked this site since i first stumbled upon it about a year ago (though i only joined a few months ago) I've found its very friendly with a nice community feel to it, rare to find.
Thanks the love on these Vintagefran, thanks for the compliment.
I agree, CW is a rarity, in a time when so many people says things, that they would never say to someone face to face.
I love Amy!, She couldn't have bestowed such kindness on anyone nicer than You, walksoftly.
They're beautiful pieces.
I hope that all's well with you and yours,
Tony
Thanks for giving these some love Budek & thank you for comments & kind words.

All is well here, & I hope all is well with you & yours.

Thanks for the love mikko, not sure how I missed this & sorry that I didn't respond to your seasons greetings. I hope you had a wonderful holiday season & all the best for 2014.
I have a set of these posted on my page. Mine were purchased new in 1993. There was apparently was only one other piece made in this pattern and it was a bowl.
Thanks for commenting mark, the bowl would be a nice addition to these.
According to the Orrefors site & it shows 3 sizes of the candle votives & 3 sizes of the bowls.
Thanks for giving these some love Agram & racer4.
